Bringing Back the 80s!

This past weekend, Rock of Ages hit the big screen! Andrew and I saw it on Friday and wrote our review on the blog, Two Tickets For.... This movie reminded me why I love rock music of the 80s! It got me to thinking about fashion, of course. I was thinking that there was some crazy looks from the 1980s! So how can I make them a little more tame but still hold that 80s essence? So let's see what 80s in the 21st century looks like...

80s Update by sarahkeck86 featuring silk tops

Leather was big in the rock scene, so instead of doing a full-on leather skirt try one with leather paneling. It will be more up-to-date and will be more forgiving than an all-leather skirt. Neon was also huge in the 80s, but instead of going with the bright concert tank, go with a solid neon blouse that's flowy so that the whole outfit isn't too tight. Keep the shoes neutral so that the attention stays focused on bright shirts and accessories. Pairing this outfit with bright bangles and a skeleton ring really finishes off the 80s look.  


The 80s are over, it's true, so don't go putting crazy 80s hair with this outfit. Keeping it simple. No crimping. This really was a fun movie, by the way, so if you love musicals with a great cast be sure to see Rock of Ages while it's in theaters!
